Chronic Sleep Disturbance is now a global health concern! Do you ever wonder, what it would take to sleep through-out the night, without tossing and turning and, awakening over and over, hour after hour? Unbeknownst to you the culprits could be: Endotoxins which are toxic substances released by gut bacteria that trigger inflammation and stress responses; and, Histamine a chemical involved in immune reactions that causes itching, swelling, and sleep disturbances when excessive.
★ What Actually Causes Chronic Sleep Disturbance?
1. Endotoxins
The Endotoxins from SIBO and SIFO overstimulate the nervous system, leading to elevated cortisol and adrenaline, making it hard to fall asleep or even stay asleep.
2. Histamine Buildup
Also, Histamine buildup from bacterial and fungal overgrowth, can trigger insomnia, night sweats, cause the heart to race, leading to early awakening around 2 TO 4 AM.
3. Disrupted Gut-Brain Connection
In addition, a Disrupted gut-brain connection, is a major factor, that affects melatonin production, which regulates sleep cycles leading to disrupted sleep!
★ What Makes Chronic Sleep Disturbance Even Worse ?
1. Histamine Overload
High histamine foods, such as fermented foods, aged cheeses, wine and processed meats, further elevate histamine levels and disrupt sleep.
2. Eating Late
In addition, late-night eating, stimulates bacterial fermentation, leading to gas and discomfort.
3. Gut Inflammation Leads to Chronic Sleep Disturbance
When the Gut is inflamed, it triggers stress hormones and disrupts deep sleep phases.
★ How Can You Fix Chronic Sleep Disturbance Forever ?
1. Magnesium Glycinate
The Glycinate form of Magnesium is a relaxant. When consumed just before bed, it relaxes the nervous system, eases muscle tension, and supports melatonin production.
2. Activated Charcoal
A small amount of activated charcoal, taken at night binds toxins from bacteria and fungi. These prevents the toxins from disrupting sleep.
3. Wheatgrass or Butyrate
Wheatgrass when taken first thing in the morning, along with Butyrate, helps to detoxify endotoxins and restore gut lining integrity.
4. Low-Histamine Diet
Also, supporting the gut by reducing histamine-rich foods and improving digestion, will lessen night sweats and heart palpitations.
Just Zero-in on two things, calm the nervous system and, reduce gut inflammation. And, before you know it, you’ll be sleeping through-out the night like a baby!
